The Taiwan Digital Diplomacy Association (TDDA), in partnership with the American Institute in Taiwan( AIT) are excited to announce a new program designed to foster young diplomatic talent in Taiwan - the Diplomacy and Leadership Workshop.

The Diplomacy and Leadership Workshop is a unique, intensive program designed to cultivate the next generation of global leaders. We are looking for highly motivated Taiwanese youth (ages 18-35) who have a passion for diplomacy and international affairs to apply to become core participants in this program!

Participants will sharpen strategic thinking, negotiation, consensus-building, cross-cultural communication, and conflict resolution abilities via hands-on experiences participating in and running diplomacy simulations. They will join 3 focused training sessions to learn how to expertly facilitate and moderate diplomatic simulations, just like real diplomats! Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to chat face-to-face with AIT officers in an interactive training session held at AIT! 

After completion of the training sessions, core participants will work together to host a student-led diplomacy simulation, applying newly acquired diplomacy, negotiation, and crisis management skills.

The program will culminate in a special closing ceremony hosted at the American Center, AIT. This prestigious event will offer a unique and unforgettable opportunity to meet AIT leadership, offering a moment to celebrate your achievements and engage with a top-level diplomatic leader. Participants will also receive a Certificate of Completion acknowledging their achievement.
